Chapter 64: Phoenix Seeks Phoenix
(Faint... sixty-four also want to harmonize!)
Just as people around were speculating about Zhang Wen-zhong and You Jia's relationship, guessing they were boyfriend and girlfriend, Zhang Wen-zhong shook his head and declined You Jia's invitation: "No need, I'll just wander around here. The scenery is pretty good, can't I take a walk around?"
"Of course." You Liang said with a smile.
"So, Mr. Zhang, please go ahead and I'll come find you later." Yu Jia didn't insist either, after apologizing to Zhang Wen Zhong, she turned around and followed behind Yu Liang to see her grandfather.
Yu Jia turned around, her pretty face slightly flushed. She had already regained her composure and thought about the rash invitation to invite a boy into her boudoir, which was indeed not very suitable and could easily lead to misunderstandings from others. Zhang Wen Zhong's polite refusal also gave her an excuse to save face. But for some reason, amidst the relief, her heart felt slightly uncomfortable.
After Yu Jia and Yu Liang left, the people around them curiously gathered around, chatting with Zhang Wen Zhong to find out his identity. The people gathered near the villa entrance were also socialites, but compared to the Yu family's true nobility, there was still a huge gap. Among these people surrounding Zhang Wen Zhong, many of them hoped to establish a relationship with the Yu family through him and make themselves rise to prominence.
In their eyes, Zhang Wen-zhong had already become the son-in-law who would bring good fortune to the Yu family. This kind of thinking truly made Zhang Wen-zhong laugh and cry at the same time.
Just then, a familiar voice rang out from among the crowd.
"He's not some aristocrat, nor is he a young genius. He's just a school doctor at Yongcheng University Hospital. The relationship between Yu Jia and them is also not what you're blindly guessing. He's just a calligrapher that Yu Jia found."
Everyone turned their heads in unison, looking towards the direction where the voice came from, and only then did they discover that the person who said this was none other than Yang Yi, one of Yu Jia's ardent pursuers, who was said to be the most qualified to become Yu Jia's son-in-law.
Today, Yang Yi was wearing a crisp Armani suit, his hair slicked back and gleaming with oil. He strode through the crowd in just a few steps and stopped right in front of Zhang Wen Zhong, gazing at him with a provocative look. After several days of secret investigation, Yang Yi had already figured out all about Zhang Wen Zhong's intelligence gathering activities.
Zhang Wen Zhong smiled and nodded, speaking the truth: "Mr. Yang is right, I'm just an ordinary school doctor, and my relationship with You Jia is also just a normal friendship, not what you think it is."
Yang Yi did not expect Zhang Wenzhong to be so honest, which made him slightly stunned. He had thought that Zhang Wenzhong would make excuses, and he had prepared several follow-up moves to make Zhang Wenzhong lose face in front of everyone. But Zhang Wenzhong's honesty instead gave him a feeling of being powerless and having no way out.
"Mr. Yang, thank you for helping me out of this situation, goodbye." Just as Yang Yi was stunned, Zhang Wenzhong nodded slightly at him and then ignored him, turning to walk towards the orchard on the right.
This orchard, Zhang Wenzhong noticed at first sight. In this orchard, all the trees planted are orange trees. At this time, on these orange trees, there were already many small green oranges.
Zhang Wenzhong paid attention to these orange trees, not because he wanted to eat oranges. Moreover, even if he wanted to eat oranges, it would not be possible to eat this kind of small and green, immature orange. The reason why he noticed these orange trees was that among them, there was a plant called 'Feng Qiu Huang'.
Fengqiu plant, in appearance and orange tree is very similar, even if the botanist, are difficult to distinguish between them. However, it does not produce any fruit. This plant, whether root system, stem or leaf, all are the main medicine for refining marrow-washing dan. This marrow-washing dan, whether for ordinary martial practitioners or for true cultivators, is a rare and precious spiritual medicine.
According to legend, the plant called Feng Qiu Huang was the one that the phoenix liked to present to the phoenix king when expressing love, hence its name, and not because of the story between Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun.
Zhang Wenzhong walked up to this 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' and plucked a leaf, bringing it to his nose for a light sniff.
"It's indeed a phoenix seeking a phoenix." Zhang Wenzhong murmured softly to himself.
Just then, Yang Yi's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Mr. Zhang, I have a few words to say to you."
Zhang Wenzhong turned around and looked at him, saying calmly: "What's that? You go ahead and say it."
Yang Yi snorted and said, "Don't think I don't know why you're getting close to You Jia. Humph, with your kind of toad-like appearance, you actually dare to want a taste of swan meat? It's just a pipe dream!"
"I think you're mistaken, although I'm a toad, I don't have the audacity to try to swallow a swan like some people do. Besides, my relationship with Yujia is just normal friendship, not what you think it is. Even if we were in a romantic relationship, which has nothing to do with you, you don't have the right to interfere with us."
Yang Yi angrily said: "I'll make it clear to you today, Yu Jia is my woman. From now on, you'd better stay away from her. Don't come up with all sorts of excuses to get close to her again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."
"Are you threatening me?" Zhang Wenzhong couldn't help but laugh lightly.
"I'm warning you, what's it going to be?" Yang Yi sneered, with an expression that said "I've got you right where I want you".
Zhang Wenzhong sighed and said: "I hate it most when someone threatens me."
Yang Yi wasn't afraid at all, he burst out laughing and said mockingly: "So what do you want to do? Hit me? Hmph, don't blame me for not warning you, if you dare to make a move here, you'll be thrown out immediately! Moreover, if you dare hit me, I can make you lose your job right away! And I can guarantee that no medical institution in Yong City will dare to use you again. I can also add some negative evaluations to your file, so even if you leave Yong City, you won't be able to find a job in the medical system again!"
After finishing this speech, Yang Yi no longer paid attention to Zhang Wen Zhong and turned around to walk towards his own group of good friends.
Zhang Wenzhong sneered and lightly stamped his right foot on the ground, causing a small stone to jump up. When it rose to his waist level, Zhang Wenzhong snapped his right middle finger, shooting the small stone directly at Yang Yi's right leg, hitting the Weizhong acupoint.
Yang Yi, who was walking normally, suddenly felt a numbness in his right leg and then involuntarily knelt down. At the same time, his right hand subconsciously stretched out to grab randomly, just catching onto someone's hand.
Before Yang Yi could even say thank you, a man's voice with an intentionally effeminate tone rang out in front of him: "Oh my, nobody recognizes you anymore, how come you're kneeling down and proposing to me? However, you do look quite handsome, and since you're willing to kneel down and propose in front of so many people, I suppose that shows your sincerity. So, I'll reluctantly agree to marry you."
Propose... propose marriage!?
Yang Yi was startled, he hastily looked up to see a giant of a man standing in front of him, with a height of over 1.8 meters, wearing a suit but unable to conceal the bulging muscles underneath. However, this robust man had a pouting expression on his face as if thinking he was cute.
What's wrong with you, acting so pretentious and yet still trying to be cute...
Yang Yi really has the heart to die together.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not proposing to you like that, my leg just suddenly went numb...” Yang Yi thought of this robust man as a gay and felt his scalp tingling. He explained while hurriedly trying to stand up.
However, his right leg had not fully recovered at this time. He had just stood up and was numb and unable to support himself, so he fell into the arms of a strong man.
"Hey, you're really annoying. How can you be so impatient? In front of all these people, how dare you act like this?" Although his mouth was scolding Yang Yi, the strong man's hands were actually roaming over Yang Yi's body, taking advantage of the situation to cop a feel. At the same time, he also leaned in close to Yang Yi's ear and whispered, "It's rare for a handsome guy like you to propose to me and be so impatient, I'll satisfy you. My car is outside, are your legs numb or something? Don't worry, I'll support you out."
Yang Yi's face changed greatly, and he was about to shout, but the strong man covered his mouth with his hand, making him only able to make "ah" sounds. At the same time, the strong man smiled slyly and whispered in his ear: "I know you're excited, but there are so many people here, don't shout loudly, or we'll be laughed at." As he spoke, he dragged Yang Yi out of the villa by force.
